Mapping sea level rise in Santa Barbara County
This project explores the impact of sea level rise in the city of Santa Barbara. I took a digital elevation model and overlaid Santa Barbara parcels, then computed the number of flooded parcels for each meter of sea level rise, up to ten meters (which is a ridiculous height).
Analysis was completed in ArcMap.
